Handling dry, combustible powders—such as chemicals, starches, or mineral fines—presents severe safety and environmental challenges. Under the high-frequency multi-axis movement of vibratory sifters and screens, traditional hose-clamped rubber sleeves rapidly fail. They crack, tear, and leak fine dust into the plant atmosphere, creating hazardous working conditions and immediate ATEX combustible dust risks.

SOSHH® addresses these extreme operational pain points with our heavy-duty, Anti-Static Polyurethane (PU) flexible connectors, delivering zero-leakage sealing and unmatched fatigue resistance for vibratory process equipment.

⚡ Combustible Dust Safety: The Anti-Static Mandate

Pneumatic conveying and severe vibration generate immense static electricity. In powder handling, an insulative flexible connector acts as a dangerous barrier, allowing high-voltage static to accumulate until it arcs, potentially igniting a dust explosion.

• ATEX Compliance: SOSHH® engineers specialized Anti-Static PU connectors with a surface resistivity that actively dissipates static charges, ensuring safe operation in Zone 20/21/22 explosive dust environments.
• Double-Layer Design for Zero Leakage: To completely eradicate dust emissions, we offer a specialized double-layer transparent PU configuration. This provides a robust, fail-safe mechanical barrier that drastically improves workshop air quality.
• Strictly Unrestricted Flow: Please note that our products are purely high-performance structural soft connections. There is no explosion-proof filter element inside, ensuring 100% unrestricted flow capacity for your production lines.

⚙️ BFM-Equivalent Snap-In Technology for OEE

Traditional hose clamps create dead zones where powder stagnates, and they require excessive time to remove during cleaning cycles.

• Tool-Free Installation: For maximum Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), SOSHH® provides BFM-equivalent snap-in flexible fittings. The internal rigid ring snaps securely into a custom spigot, sealing tighter as internal pressure increases.
• Fatigue Resistance: Our ether-based PU outlasts standard silicone or rubber by up to 5 times under the relentless shearing forces of vibratory sifters.
